I've managed to get my hands on this device and it seems I can't find any method to root this phone or unlock its bootloader. If there's anyway to root or install twrp recovery with unlocked bootloader, please let me know.
I'll highly appreciate that.

Has anyone done this yet? Guide?
Unlock bootloader, flash twrp, reboot from bootloader to twrp, reboot system from twrp, when prompted swipe to root. Enjoy
Sent from my Moto X.
Wolf, might be worth mentioning if you unlock the bootloader your warranty is out the window. As of today there are no root exploits that work if you have the latest updates from Motorola so unlocking is the only way to go. Dev Edition phones have been shipping with the latest updates already installed so unless you were one of the first it's probably already patched.
Is there any root method that will work for an at&t moto x running on 4.4.4 and unlock bootloader? Or am i stuck running stock?
Enjoy stock, you're stuck. Unless you find a bootloader unlock code.
Next time search, this question has been answered too many times already.
Always read the stickies... Like this one from the general section,

What the hell.. c'mon man it's been like 10 years... still not a method.
You may have found some threads on here that recommend Sunshine, a $25 app that you can download (link below). The developers say that it may work for some users that are on 4.4.4. Try it. It will confirm for you whether it will unlock before you pay. It successfully worked for me when I was on 4.2.2. Good luck.

Your bootloader is UNlocked? If so, just flash TWRP recovery, reboot-bootloader, go into TWRP and it should prompt you to root. If not, install SuperSU zip from TWRP.
Now, if your bootloader is still LOCKED, then you are stuck. Sunshine has not worked on ATT XT1058 that has 4.4.4 on it. (and before you ask... no, you can't safely/successfully downgrade all parts of the X in order to use Sunshine).
As for how long its been... As android matures, there are less and less bugs and vulnerabilities to exploit/hack to gain root access if you can't unlock the bootloader. The number of people capable of finding them dwindles too.

That is sad. I tried to use sunshine just now on xt1058. Says I have no root (after attempting temproot).
Since root has been achieved will this aid in unlocking the bootloader? Did it ever happen with the S5?
Root and bootloader unlock are two very different things tbh. Just because we have root doesn't mean it'll help unlock bootloader. Only thing is that maybe the devs attention will be turned to BL now that they don't need to worry about root.

Ok, I didn't know if having greater access to the system would help with the bootloader issue. Thanks!
Finding root gives you elevated access to the file system. To get a customer recovery, the bootloader must be modified (which requires root to access). But, to modify our locked bootloader to put on a customer recovery, you'll needs it's encryption key. Without it, no changes can be made and the 'chain of trust' is broken and the phone won't boot.
I found this TUTORIAL, and in it does not inform that it is necessary to have the bootloader unlocked, does it work? In item n°5 informs that TWRP will not be installed on the system will only be run at that time to be able to install root.
Is this correct?
Its wrong, we can't root without unlocked bootloader
Just bought a C11 2021 with RMX3231 and there is no tool to unlock the bootloader.
I searched everywhere but no luck, I guess money is wasted.
I cant unlock the bootloader or root the device. The In Depth tool for both 1.0 and 2.0 wont install on the phone.
Just hoping someone can make a guide on the updated version. I really need to unlock the bootloader and root the device.
I think it is unrootable like the Huawei phones that need unlock code.
